LETTER TO MY JUNTA FRIEND

I presume it was a bloodless mission, junta friend. That you successfully toppled the leadership of an unfriendly friend.

It must have been your greatest achievement in your entire military career, I guess. But tell me friend, how many gallons of innocent blood did you spilled.

Though your allies turned out to be your worst enemies, yet your resolution to liberate your kinsmen remains unflinching.

But junta friend, let’s sit to talk. Are you really different from your sacked unfriendly friend?

Tell me the truth junta, were you really moved by the passion to improve the welfare of the masses, or you nurse an unbridled quest for power.

Yes, I can see the jubilation on the street of Niamey, despite the looming sound of war around your borders. Men seem to be more relieved on their balconies.

Junta friend, tell me your mission.

To be candid, brother junta, I salute your courage to emancipate your siblings from the horrors of the West.

But tell me, was it planned? I perceived you took counsel from fellow juntas across the borders of Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad. Yes junta! My perception hinges on the wave of uniform men on a straight course, from border to border.

I hope your are not planning for my home town too.

Mr. Junta, let’s talk heart to heart. I can see you standing between two seemingly appealing demon and the devil.

In my vision oh junta, you are in the process of divorcing the demon called West, because the oil of love between you both has dried up.

But this devil from the East wooing you, is my greatest concern. I hope you are not jumping from frying pan into the fire.

If your marriage with the demon is as devastating as your present predicament, tell me junta, how are you going to cope with the devil himself?

I thought you were aware of the bitter engagement between your new suitor and Ukraine. Their bill of divorce still lies in the customary court where the world assembled.

Give the devil an inch, he will travel a trillium miles dragging your skull on igneous.

I would have wished that you can combine efforts with men on your western borders to stand your ground.

Hmmmmm, this your alliance with the Eastern devil might not end well.

You bear the best food of the Eastern devil, you know. He needs your gun powder so badly for his deadliest mission across the globe.

I wished you can rethink my junta friend, romancing the devil from the East can be more devastating than you can ever imagined.

You bear the nomenclature of a sovereign nation. You can stand with fellow juntas and win your course. You cannot win the devil, when the oil of your love dries up.

Dear junta friend, I hope you will fully divorce the demon and never will you accept the proposal of the devil.

Yours sincerely,

Friend to the juntas.

Happiness is a product of positive emotional disposition to seemingly pleasant situation or occurrence, that gladens the mind. In most cases, happiness use to be spontaneous, and it varies in magnitude with time and events. It can literarily disappear when the mood of satisfaction is affected by negative feeling, unlike joy that last longer as a human feeling irrespective of circumstances. Now to the question, 30 things that make me happy. I will try to highlight some. 1. Worshipping in God’s presence. 2. My beautiful hearted wife. 3. My beautiful little princess (my daughter). 4. Being in the company of truthful and sincere people. 5. Doing God’s work. 6. Watching my football club winning a match. 7. Having opportunity to give to the needy. 8. Sharing my knowledge with other colleagues. 9. Teaching younger generation. 10. Reading history about past events. 11. Engaging the aged (old) fellows in heart to heart conversation. 12. Traveling a very long distance. 13. Observing different works of nature. 14. Reflecting on funny past events. 15. Having an inspiration to write on a subject matter. 16. Engaging in research field work. 17. Reading poems or other contents that touched the heart. 18. Leadership sincerity and honesty. 19. When there is power (electricity) supply. 20. When I am giving the opportunity to share the gospel of Christ. 21. Giving life changing counsel to youths. 22. Being part of the success story of others. 23. Boldness to stand by the truth while others are compromising. 24. Having and giving solutions to seemingly unresolvable situations. 25. Caring for the old people. 26. Answers to my prayers by God. 27. Being healed from sickness without applying medication. 28. Having a godly and a conscientious society. 29. An arena of love without reservation. 30. Engaging in a legitimate work to provide food for my family.

List 30 things that make you happy.

Hmm! The magnificent greatness of God. The manifold goodnesses of God. The marvelous works of God. The measureless wonders of the cross, where my savior bled. The might works of redemption of mankind back to God. The magnanimity of God towards mortal men. How He (JESUS) left His glory to die a painful death, just for the sin I committed. The knowledge that fashioned the nebula. The wisdom that arranged the solar system and it’s members. The thought behind the creation of all things from the foundation of the earth. The order that defiles laws of gravity by suspending the galaxy in the space. The waters, the waves and the winds. The diverse tongues, tribes , languages and races across the globe. The beauty of heaven of love , peaceful coexistence and empathy. How beautiful heaven must be, sweet home for the happy and free, fair heaven of rest for the weary, how beautiful heaven must be. The glorious abode of the righteous is the basis of curiosity. The final abode of the godless, questions my ingenuity. The crystal sea or the cruel hell; the Bemar seat or the great white throne; eternal happiness or eternal suffering; eternal life or eternal death. I leave your thought to ponder on this, as I continue to ask, where will you spend your eternity. I am practically curious!

What are you curious about?

Humans are products of love, compassion and kindness. It is therefore inherent in every conscientious human being to replicate love, compassion and kindness among fellow humans, irrespective of colour or race. In a world of social disconnection that we found ourselves, unreserved love and compassion for fellow man is lacking, hence, the act of kindness is as scarce as water in the dry desert. If we all can exhibit daily compassionate love one to another, the whole world will be touched by an act of kindness. Love + compassion = kindness in our societies. Act of kindness cannot be shown in a required proportion, when there is deficiency in the measure of love. Therefore, our love and compassion must defile the barriers of boundaries, colour, race, language and tribe. The most acceptable universal language that touches the heart is not music, it is an act of kindness that is predicated on an unconditional love and compassion for humanity. Now to answer the question of the day; my love for fellow humans is the basis for my daily act of kindness, as I daily walk down the street. In my lack, I shared the little I have with the needy. I help the old fellows around me to fix things they couldn’t fixed for lack of strength. Many more acts of kindness that I cannot remember. Kindness is the reflection of a good heart.

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

An expression of love transcends ordinary human sight. A reflection of compassion can only be assessed by the heart of the beneficiary. A comely act of good gesture and best wishes does not necessarily needs to come by the assessment of our sight. You can only know me by the reflection of my character. It doesn’t really matter how I describe myself to you, if you really need to know me for whom I am, just check my contents, check my contacts and check my compositions; you will find an underlying philosophy that describes my character in a simple portrait.

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

NEW TRAJECTORY OF THE MEN IN UNIFORM

Mind is not at rest, while the wind of revolution blows it’s whistle so loud. It started with a spark, but now, the reality is more pronounced than the California wild fire of the nineteenth century.

Men in uniform are taking over, unseating the chosen men of lesser integrity. The pattern of toppling our decayed democratic government looks so comely, a bloodless coup on the corridors of West Africa on my mind.

It was a spark when the Malian general revolted and ceased power, fear grips other unpatriotic leaders across the shores of Africa, as Guinea, Burkina Faso and Niger joined the wagon of militocracy.

A system of “cracy” must suffice, when the walls of Africa is collapsing under the watch of an unruly democracy. Hence the other form of “cracy” in uniform choose to stop the madness seated on the throne of governance in the palaces of Africa.

It’s a mix feeling on the minds of everyone here in Africa. Whether to support the waves of military incursion or not. Our fathers fought hard to forestall an all inclusive government called democracy. Many of whom died in the struggle for a government of the people. We got democracy by having the demonstration of the craziest men in our palaces across Africa.

The worst democracy ever practiced in the history of the world . A democracy that undermines the voice of the masses. A democracy that sold Africans to the world around as cheap commodity. A democracy that subjugates the will of the masses. A democracy that threatens the last hope of every common man on the streets of Africa. A democracy that has mortgaged our collective posterity. An indebted democracy indeed. IMF is almost loosing counts of our endless debts.

A democracy that cannot project the interest of the masses should not be preserved by the masses. Hence the option of revolution or military incursion are set on the table against the heartless self-imposed kings in our palaces across Africa. 

Africans micro businesses are collapsing daily, our local currencies are subjects to devaluation every day, heartless government keeps pretending to be subsidizing the prices of commodities that are naturally owned by us to us. To worsen the matter, they removed the subsidy under a pretentious act of palliative that have died at the corridor of promise. They choose to keep their refineries abroad running, hence, the willingness to resuscitate the local refineries died at the corridor leadership decay.

This is not the kind of democracy we crave for. A democracy that multiplies poverty and penury is unacceptable. A democracy that promotes feudalism and oligarchy is not to be preserved. A democracy that pervert justice must be overturned. A democracy that cannot protect and preserve it’s territorial integrity must not be sustained.

Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and other African countries should beware, the wave of military incursion is no more a mirage. Is either we go the way of restructuring and good governance or we expect the reality of revolution or military incursion. Those guys in uniform are tired. They have paid the deadliest price of seeing their colleagues died in the war front against insurgencies secretly masterminded by political leaders.

Our democratic leaders are not sincere, they sell our commonwealth for peanut to the west to gain the cheap favour from the west. They have fat foreign accounts at the detriment of the masses they govern. Their children ride in luxuries while a common man on the street cannot afford a single meal in a day. Our hospitals are not better than mortuaries elsewhere. Our schools are full of decayed intellectual ingenuities in the libraries, which received no political support or sponsorship for societal development. The best gift our democracy could offer for decades.

If our collective wealth suffered violence, then the violent must take it by force. If military rule is the way out of our endless predicaments in Africa, then we will appreciate military incursion. Our democracy lacks discipline and sanity, we want a government that will protect and preserve our territories against politically induced terrorism in our land.

Our crude oil must be refined on our own soil. Our gold and diamond must be processed in our own land. Our uranium should benefits our local development and not men of other clans. Our cocoa, groundnuts, coffee, bitumen, copper, limestone, bauxite, Tin, iron ore platinum etc., must be processed in Africa by Africans and for the benefits of Africans.

If our democracy cannot accord us the aforementioned, then to hell with the democracy that enrich the few at the detriment of the masses.

To the executive arm of government, please let the masses breath. To the legislatures, please stop suffocating the masses with your lawless extravagant lifestyles. And to the judiciary, stop selling justice for money 💰. It’s either you stop all these wayward styles of governance or the military take over completely. We are practically tired.

Africans are tired of bad leaders. We need a wave of change in our leadership. If military will give us the desired change, so be it.

Military incursion is eminent in African countries, unless our political leaders start to get things right in favour of the masses, the incursion of the military will be inevitable.

Annual convergence of almost every members of our extended family in our home town. This usually comes up around late December of every year. My late parents loved this tradition to the extent that we do not usually miss it. But as time passes bye, the challenges of the modern society have not given me an ample opportunity to keep to the tradition of annual convergence of family members.

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?

From here, the day still smiles like an innocent infant. But not as innocent as such. Eighteen minutes gone past in the first hour of the day. Thousands of souls just broke forth as first timers on earth, crying , unwennn……! While thousands had already given up the ghost, and the mourners are resuming their wailing duties. Today has started displaying it’s unique qualities which distinguishes it from any other day before and after today. Today is August 1, 2023, no any other day from the beginning of the earth has same collections of number date (8/01/2023), and no any other day hereafter will have such. Today is full of fortunes and misfortunes of different magnitudes that are not as perfectly the same as they were yesterday in history. The absolute world population for today is uniquely distinct from yesterday in history and tomorrow in future. Each day varies just as the needs, interest, aspirations and wishes of human beings varies. Taking a holistic look at the uniqueness and the complexity of each day, I strongly accept that today is typical.

Was today typical?
